18th Street Arts Center COVID-19 Response

Due to a spike in coronavirus cases in many California counties, including LA, Governor Gavin Newsom has ordered all museums and galleries (along with other indoor venues) to close.

Protecting our staff, artists, and visitors are of utmost importance, and we will reopen fully once it is safe to do so. Please note that our current exhibitions are open by appointment only, and our events are online for the moment.

To make an appointment to view an exhibition, please visit 18thstreet.org/exhibitions
and select the exhibition you would like to visit.
For current events, please visit 18thstreet.org/events.

In the meantime, we have brand-new exhibitions pages for our current shows so you can explore the them online, and we have lots of fantastic new content every week on our 18@Home and Arts Learning Lab @ Home channels.
